Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

LURED BY PANDORAS VAUL T

Planet Pandora is a sparsely populated wasteland where the rule of law gets rewritten daily in the smoke of the last gun battle. Civilization consists of small outposts on the fringe of human influence, in an area called the Borderlands. Pandoras one tourist attraction is a mythical Vault packed with fantastic riches, supposedly stashed eons ago somewhere on the planet by an advanced alien culture. Fortune hunters, corrupt corporate mercenaries and lowlife bandits roam the landscape, searching under every grain of sand for the treasure. Since most intelligent life on Pandora has the occupation of Vault Hunter, society has gone to hellmaking the outposts and outback areas damn dangerous. And with hundreds of thousands of weapons at their trigger fingertips, why talk things over when machine gun fire settles disagreements much more effectively. Think you can find the Vault? Maybe go it alone? You bet youre tough enough. Keep all that loot for yourself. Or bring in a few allies to watch your back. Cooperation could be vastly profitable, And its wise not to be the only item on the menu when a pack of starving skags breaks loose. You are ready to risk it all. But whether youre a Soldier, Hunter, Siren or Berserker, the real quest is freeing the formidable powers within yourself. Every firefight makes you stronger. Every successful mission pushes your deadly skills toward the next level. The conquest of the Vault is about to unfold and with ityour story.
